The Miami Valley’s Award for Excellence in Theatre Arts – The DayTonys – recently awarded Cedarville with one of the two 2013-2014 Best Overall Productions awards. Cedarville also received 16 individual honors for lighting, ensemble performance, props and excellence in character performance.

“These DayTonys are external evidence of the incredibly gifted students, faculty and staff we have as part of the CU theatre program,” said Moore, associate chair of the department of art, design, and theatre. “We've known it for years, but it's great for the broader theater community to recognize it as well.”

The theater department will launch its 2014-15 season with “Little Women,” running from October 2-12. They will also put on “Fiddler on the Roof,” which will run from January 29 - February 8, and “Doubt: A Parable,” which will be from March 19-29.
